In this video, James Murphy discusses the issue of standardisation in the transition from the military to the civilian world. Cybersecurity is the perfect example to highlight this issue, as job titles and roles can vary greatly from company to company. He explores the confusion this lack of standardization can cause, and discuss the importance of understanding the differences between job titles and the actual tasks required in the role. Additionally, he discusses the certifications that are highly sought after in the cybersecurity industry, and how they can help military veterans make a smooth transition into this field.
